Re: Gnostics?
Hmmm... That makes me every kind of extreme there could be. I like to party... drink too much, and if I really feel like it: get into fights (rarely gets too physical... people's too scared of me) I love body-building, and believe me I'm strong. Very tall. I love sports... in fact I've studied in that direction. Ok, I've been growing a slight belly the last year or so, but at this stage I'm not worried about that. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Hmmm... my hobby is computers, comuter art and website-design.

Re: Gnostics?
Don't worry, Gron, I am similarly all over the place. I play computer games, read comic books, hold long discussions about RPGs and other learned things, was on the debate team, and even had a stint with the chess club.<br><br>On the other hand, I played organized baseball for 10 years, was on the cross-country team in middle school, play paintball whenever I have the dough, I fence on the side, I'm a drummer in a punk rock band, I drink and party at least once a week (in fact, there's a bottle of Jack in my closet that still needs consumption...), I'm an actor who always seems to land the lead roles, and I currently don't know which girl I want to be with as far as the ones that want to date me. I mean, they're all hot as hell and they all have some of the best personalities I've ever seen.

A-gnostic
<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Actually, if you are agnostic, that means that you refuse to believe in the existance of and do not disbelieve in the existance of a god or gods without further proof of one or the other. An agnostic doesn't say, "There is no god/gods/heaven/yadda.", that would be an atheist. An agnostic would say, "I don't have sufficient proof that god exists, nor do I have sufficient proof that god does not exist, so until I have more (convincing) information I will not commit myself to believing either." If you fully believe that god exists, you are not agnostic.

Re: Don't be ashamed to admit it...
Actually, for those who are interested, "nerd" is about the only accurately used term to describe those of us who pursue intellectual or other non-social activities. Here are the names and actual meanings of some common terms.<br><br>Nerd--one dedicated to a non-social pursuit<br><br>Geek--one who eats live animals for show<br><br>Dork--a whale's penis<br><br>Well, there you have it, if you don't believe me look in a dictionary! <p></p><i></i>
Re: Don't be ashamed to admit it...
Ok. Then I must be a high-functioning nerd aswell. <br>Someone who can enjoy himself both with and without other people and does both to similar degree. <p></p><i></i>

Re: Don't be ashamed to admit it...
A Deist, Vildern, is a person who believes that a higher power exists, but he is to us as we are to a clock. A clock can not even begin to understand what it is that you are, what it is that you do, and what it is that makes you be. So, who are we to understand God? I believe in a higher power, but I believe that he is so far above our understanding that no religion could ever accurately portray him. Famous Deists include Benjamin Franklin, which is why I referenced him. In fact, a lot of the founding fathers were Deists, if I recall correctly.<br><br>EDIT: Oh, and I forgot. Deists also believe that God doesn't intervene in his creation. He created the world, and like a clock he's letting it run its course. That's the part I'm sorta sketchy on, though. I believe he intervenes, but it's only to bump us along every now and then, not in the sense that he's always messing with us. <p>-----------------------<br>CrisS<br>Newsletter and Plot Writer<br>Kings Quest IX: Every Cloak Has a Silver Lining<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.sighost.us/members/thelongwa ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>Battle to the end, even if it kills you.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.howtobeahero.com/images/type ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.howtobeahero.com">Be a Hero.</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestfor ... urt2384</A> <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://www.sighost.us/members/thelongwa ... perman.gif" BORDER=0> at: 12/20/03 6:58 am<br></i>
